No. 2 Tennessee beats No. 1 Memphis in Memphis: It ends the Tigers' bid for an unbeaten season... it vaults the Vols to No. 1 in the country for the first time in school history... and it positions Tennessee as not just a lock of a No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed, but probably the team best-positioned to get to the Final Four. Few have racked up as quality of a single win (Texas' win over Tennessee suddenly looks amazing), but who else has as quality of a road win?
More CBB: Kansas loses at Oklahoma State (probably losing any chance at a No. 1 NCAA seed)... UCLA survives at home vs. Oregon (what was up with those Ducks unis?)... Drake tops Butler in Bracket Buster headliner (Kent St got a huge boost with a win over St. Mary's)... Nova ends UConn's 10-game W streak... Arizona upsets Wazzu in Pullman... Indiana players put "K.S." on their shoes, then put aside the distraction to survive at Northwestern (how did IU allow NU to score 82 points?)... Stud of the Day: Michael Beasley, who had a Big 12 record 44 points in a K-State loss to Baylor. He also broke Carmelo's record for double-doubles by a freshman... NJIT set a Division I record by completing an unprecedented 0-29 season...
NBA Last Night: Another big night for Manu Ginobili (30 pts, 12 ast) in a huge Spurs win over the Hornets (reminding everyone who the champ is)... Heat lose 11th straight... Lakers win 7th straight (Gasol: 23)... No Kidd, no problem: Marcus Williams has 13 assists in Nets win over IND.
Zach Thomas will play for the Cowboys... The Rex Grossman Era in Chicago continues (he signed a 1-year deal)... The Klitschko "unification" win was a great (snoozy) example of why boxing is no longer relevant in today's sports world...

Agreed with the disapation of heavy weight boxing's reign as king. I would venture that the dealth started with "the bite".
BTW, I did call the UT win...
That Tenn - Memphis game was awesome last night. They played at an unreal speed the entire game. Both teams are deep but I worry about Memphis' ability to close a game out from the charity stripe and Tennesee's lack of a true PG created a lot of tunrovers for Memphis... These two teams dont strike me as the top 4 contenders in the nation... but they play entertaining ball...
If Manu continues to play like this, there is no way that anyone can stop the Spurs from winning back to bACK.
